Celebration on the occasion of the 25th anniversary AERZEN Sales Offices North/East In 2016, AERZEN Sales Office North looks back on 25 successful years. Together with Sales Office East, the eleven colleagues of manager Torsten Lehmann are an experienced and powerful team, supporting about half of Germany in terms of geographical coverage Celebration on the occasion of the 25th anniversary. The colleagues of Sales Office North and East are an experienced team.It all began in 1991 with an office in Bad Fallingbostel: After the merger of the branch office Lower Saxony and the Sales division for the Hamburg region, the Sales Office North opened. From Bad Fallingbostel, in May 2010, they moved to the Lueneburg Heath, the present location Walsrode, strategically well situated close to the motorway junction.Sales Office North is responsible for Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony, Hamburg and Bremen, the administrative district of Detmold, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Brandenburg, Berlin and Northern Saxony-Anhalt. The business is characterised by the cement industry, mill building, wastewater technology, biogas and ship technology. Office East, founded in 1990, was first of all divided between two cities - Berlin and Leipzig. In March 2009, the two locations were combined in Lutherstadt Wittenberg as Sales Office East. Located in the middle of Eastern Germany, they cover the regions Saxony, southern Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. Their customers come from the fields of waste water, chemicals, refining and pneumatics.Over a 25 year period, Sales Offices North and East have achieved an impressive amount of incoming orders, totalling 436 million euro. The majority of the items sold were blowers, closely followed by screw compressors, including VMX-stages. But several hundred Hybrid machines and several turbos were also sold.Office manager North/East, Torsten Lehmann, can look back on a long AERZEN history: in 1993, after studying mechanical engineering, the aircraft mechanic, who trained at Messrs. Airbus, joined our company as an external service representative. In April 1997, he was promoted to deputy office manager, and in 2010 took over the management of Sales Offices North and East. Under his leadership, the team has grown further. On 22nd September, they celebrated the 25th anniversary at the Walsrode Town Hall with about 150 selected customers and the AERZEN management team.

Major order from Leibniz University Hanover In May 2016, AERZEN received one of the biggest domestic orders in the company’s history. For its new research building on the Campus Maschinenbau (mechanical engineering), Garbsen (CMG), Leibniz University Hanover ordered a “compres- sor station for the dynamic drive of turbo machines and power plant components.” and a compressed-air station from AERZEN Systems, for a total of about 13.2 million euro. The unit consists of two GM 20.20 and two VRa 736S, all the pipings and coolers, and the measuring and regulating technology. In future, thanks to the new research opportunities afforded by the unit, the University of Hanover will count among the world’s leading institutions in the field of energy efficiency research.
New information material AERZEN has developed a new planning folder for its waste water range. This is available in both German and English versions and in digital as well as in print form. The IFAT fair has shown that there is an increasing level of interest in heat recovery systems. Therefore, AERZEN now offers corresponding leaflets. A unique selling point of AERZEN products is that they are free of absorption material. Accordingly, this topic is also included in the leaflet portfolio. The new brochures “ISO-Standards” and “Safety Standards” provide information on, amongst other things, discharge silencers free of absorption material and oil according to class 0.
Adjudged seaworthy In mid-2016, AERZEN blower and compressor packages were certified for marine applications by the DNV GL, one of the world’s leading classification societies for the marine industry. The international certification body and classification society DNV GL sets standards for ships and mobile offshore units - the so-called class rules. These rules include standards for safety, reliability and environmental requirements which ships and mobile offshore units have to comply with in international waters. Therefore, our series Delta Blower, Delta Screw and Delta Hybrid were certified. In future, they will be available on ships for all process air applications. Individual acceptance tests will no longer be necessary, so customers will save significantly in both cost and time. Furthermore, the DNV and LR series certificates will emphasise the high standards of quality and safety of AERZEN compressors. Further certificates will be provided upon customer’s request.

The Donors’ Association is the only joint initiative for companies and foundations to advise, interconnect, and promote holistically in the fields of education, science and innovation in Germany.
